Fax running the kids out

We have no choice, we have at least eight 1st teamers out. On another note the Fax supporters are dedicating this match to the great Graham Eadie who has health problems and are raising funds to help him out back in Oz. He is due to have heart surgery I believe and we have never forgotten one of our greatest ever players.

I am surprised at the squad Danny Ward is putting up for the cup game. We seem to be taking the game seriously.

Although initially I was for resting most of our key players, after 3 league defeats in a row, I'm reckoning Wardy will take a strong team to injury hit Fax and hopefully we'll get a morale booting win.
Sensibly Dixon and Williams are rested - I'm guessing we've a couple of speedy youngsters to try?

I don't know about sending the Academy team but Id definitely be playing all the guys who haven't featured at all this season - Hindmarsh /Boafa - and those who've only played a handful of games - Ogden / Meadows / Davies / S. Davis / Ioane / Adebiyi / Hellewell / Fleming. That's 10 right there. Then think carefully about who needs to be there to fill out the remaining spots.

God knows there's a few who've been included that an injury to would see our season destroyed. Fingers crossed nothing happens.

Making hard work of it. 6-12 down at half time and, it appears, making a habit of bombing chances.

Abysmal

Well that went well then! Just goes to show how much strength we lack in depth.

Re: Challenge Cup : Thu Apr 11, 2019 8:16 pm  

Not the end of the world. I just hope that we have no injuries.
We now move on to our priority Super League and our home game against Catalan.

Not been in the Challenge Cup could be a real bonus for you, it will give your players chance to recover from injuries while the rest of Super League battle it out.

Perfect result. Lets concentrate on the league. We are odds on to finish bottom so lets not ruin the slim chance we have in a cup we can't win.

Well played Fax!
